Hi everyone,

I am long overdue an ugrade to my skis, I am still using 2011 Head JO Pro Park skis.....!

I am 6ft and weigh approx. 76kgs and no longer ski as much park so need to shift away from a pure park ski.

If it is out there, I am looking for a twin twip that delivers on the piste, whilst also being playful around the edge of the piste and in between piste and in trees, can handle the occasional park lap and is also able to hold its own on powder days.....

Is this asking too much or are there good options out there?

At the moment I am looking at:

Faction CT 2

Faction Prodigy 2.0

Volkl Revolt 95 or 104

Armada ARV96

Black Crows Captis or Camox

Any help from the experts would be much appreciated!!

Thanks

I have a pair of ct 3s of this year. There are great on everything and the durability has improved from years back. I expect the 2.0 would be the same.

I have the volkl 104 and I love them. I got them over Christmas and I don’t know if I go to hard on them but there not the most durable(it probably because of me). My brother has the black crows and I’ve skied on them a couple times. There good but for 200+ less I’ll take the volkl’s

Between the captis and camox I would definitely go with the camox. I know the captis has a tighter turn radius and is more flexible, but I think those differences make the camox the better all mountain ski. And it’s still flexible enough to be pretty playful and fun for when you do ski park.
